"Were you seriously mad enough to black out again?" I asked shocked "i don't know, I'm also somewhat drunk." Josh sighed as he sat on his couch, "if Melody didn't stop you, the poor guy would've walked away with more than just a broken nose" i said "i don't know what came over me" he ran a hand through his hair.

"Hey sweetie, your back earlier than i thought you would've been" my mom greeted me as i walked into the house "hi, yeah. We got bored. Not much happening at that club" i smiled and plopped down on the couch beside her "did you drink?" She asked "nah wasn't in the drinking mood" i chuckled "shucks, one more month till your 20" she smiled "yup" i smirked "my baby girl is growing up so fast" she said wrapping her arms around me. "Mom" i groaned "Melody" she mimicked me. I chuckled "how was your night?" i asked "quiet. How about yours?" she asked "loud" i smirked then yawned. "Head to bed, i'll see you in the morning" my mom chuckled standing up, holding out a hand for me. I took her hand and she helped me up. "I'll see you tomorrow" i smiled "night" she chuckled then headed up to her room.

..."Josh stop it!" I cried as he threw another punch. "He didn't leave you alone Melody" Josh spat in the mans face as he punched him again. "Killing him wont fix anything" i tried to pull Josh off the man. Josh stopped. "your right." Josh stood up and reached behind him. "Lets go home" i said softly. "How about no." Josh smirked and pulled his hand back, but this time he had a gun. "J-Josh. What are you d-doing" i stuttered as he pointed it at me. "Im fixing everything" he grinned. "Josh. Please no. I love you" i backed up into a wall "i don't need your love" he chuckled and pulled the trigger.

I woke up once again tonight, this time in a cold sweat. I kept having the same dream. I always wake up as he shoots the gun at me. "Im done with sleep" i said as i sat up and ran my hand through my hair. I grabbed my phone and checked the time it flashed '6:30 am'. Guess i can have a shower now.

I finished getting ready and walked back to my room. I grabbed my phone off my bed and checked the time once again. "Only 8" i groaned. I start work today in about... Let me see.... 9 fucking hours! Ugh. Why did i take the 5 to 11 -closing- shift...

"Hey Mel" i heard the front door open "ugh" i groaned and dropped my head onto the kitchen table as i heard Josh walk into the kitchen "you alright?" He asked sounding concerned "fine" i mumbled "no your not" he pulled the chair out beside me and sat down "why so glum" he asked "I'm not glum. Im tired" i answered moving my head to look at him slightly. "Awe muffin, long night" he chuckled "yes" i sat up straight. "Couldn't sleep?" He asked "you could say that" i yawned. "How did you get into my house?" I asked confused "door was unlocked" he shrugged "so you just walk in?" I raised my eye brow "yes" he answered. "Okay then" i shrugged. "What should we do today?" He asked. "Um. Well. I know i have to work" i said "what time?" He asked "I'm leaving at 4:30" i answered "that gives us time to do stuff" he chuckled "i don't know. I mean. I might try to get some more sleep" i lied "oh." He frowned "um. Im going to head back home then. Let you sleep. See yeah later" he stood up and left. Now i feel guilty... He looked so sad. "Fuck" i groaned and stood up and walked to the living room and fell face first onto the couch.

"Wake up" someone shook me. I groaned and rolled over but instead of rolling onto the other-side of what i thought was my bed, i fell to the ground. I heard laughing and opened my eyes "Fuck. You." When i saw Josh standing over my head. "Morning" he chuckled "what time is it?" I asked "4:30" he said "ALREADY!" I screamed and sprung up from the floor. "Yeah" i heard Josh chuckle as i ran down the stairs to my room. I quickly changed out of my blue jeans and teeshirt into black yoga pants and a white shirt and black vest. "Im going to be late" i groaned before running back upstairs. Josh was gone so i just ran out of the house locking the door behind me, when i got to the end of my driveway Josh was parked at the end with the passenger door open "get in" he called to me. I went and hopped into his car "thank you" i said out of breath as i buckled up. "Anytime" Josh chuckled and started driving.
